Inside Wind and Snow Palace, the atmosphere had frozen to the point of breaking.
Yun Ke looked completely at a loss.
If it had been anyone else—if some other martial artist had caused trouble inside Wind and Snow Palace—Yun Ke would only have needed to summon the Moon Palace guards to deal with him effortlessly.

The Chu Emperor was the ruler of Chu.
He held supreme status
